Will tnf-alpha inhibitor work against boneloss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

In rheum. arthritis?: Osteoporosis is a known complication of rheumatoid arthritis (ra). The bone loss is related to features of the patient (usually a postmenopausal woman), corticosteroid therapy, and the underlying arthritis disease. May have a beneficial effect on bone loss through the medication's strong anti-inflammatory effect.
